GPU Core Idle = 54 degrees Ambient Idle = 36 degrees GPU Core Load = 58 degrees Ambient Load = 40 degrees Much better than before, it was pushing 70 at one point! I will update once I have spent a good few hours gaming. ;)

Sorry I did of course mean 12999 in 03 and 5600 in 05 BTW, I did a little case modding involving a drill and some fans to make the card a lot cooler. See what you think: http://forum.pcformat.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=495045#495045

Umm, are you having a go at me? :confused: BTW, everything in my PC is at stock speed. Is this a reasonable score?

5600 Intel P4 640 3.2GZ, Abit Guru 8S8-V, 1GB DDR400, BFG 6800 Ultra.

This 6800 Ultra is out of this world. I've just been benchmarking. On 3D mark 03 I get nearly 1300. On 3D mark 05 I'm getting around 6000. Half Life 2 and Doom 3 play like a dream.

I can't deny BFG does more than any other company I have ever known to put things right. They really do seem to care about each individual customer. I work in IT retails sales so I have experienced and heard accounts from people on just about every company that sells computer parts in the UK. I...

WOOOOHOOOOOOO!!! The card just arrviced and it works!!!! I just benchmarked 3D mark 03 and go 1299 marks! I assume this is good for this card. I'm using the latest Nvidia driver, if anyone knows a better one for this card please let me know. It's a noisy little beast and its currently...

According to UPS my card just landed in Derby UK which is only about an hour or so from my house :) :)

The guy from BFG was even kind enough to send me the measurements for the new card so I could make sure it would fit, and it will. They also gave me the UPS tracking number. Currently it says my card is at "PHILADELPHIA, PA, US" I'm assuming this is the airport. I just hope some luggage...

Well today the store installed my Hiper HPU-4B580-MK power supply. It's pretty awsome. It has removable cables so you only fit the ones you need. The tech guys said it was 110% better than my crappy Jeantech. It's less noisy too and it all seems to be running fine. They then tested the BFG...

I'm more sure it's the cards myself. We will see though.

Memtest is fine. CPU is fine from what I can see. All Bios and drivers are fully up to date. I will have the hiper PSU in the morning. They have a very good rep in the UK and have some excellent reviews. Thanks for your help guys, I'll let you know how I get on with the 6800 Ultra. At...
